And That Was That
Gary Clarke's Detention is a moving and captivating piece of dance based on the queer experience of 1980s Britain under Section 28. Over the span of ninety minutes, a series of scenes bring to life different experiences from different age groups, stitching together a comprehensive picture of the times.
One Spring Day
I would argue that one man shows and radio play adaptations are two of the most challenging and marmite choices in the industry. In the case of Guy Masterson's new rendition of Under Milkwood, is a wonderful journey into a snapshot of this unique Welsh community.
All For One
Oxford Playhouse is currently playing host to a younger cast than is typically found upon the stage, with Magdalen College School descending upon the space to bring to life the world of Dumas' musketeers. Filled with humour, singing and action, this is a performance well worth turning your attention towards...
Emotion. Connection. Growth
Half art installation, half two-hander, Natascha Norton's new play Crocodile Tears presents the fractured world of a broken relationship through the mediums of theatre and cinema. Through this strange blending of mediums the audience is allowed to gain an insight into a relationship, piecing together the story little by little.
All The Dead Men
Unfortunately there are some moments within the play where one is inclined to argue that the translation needs a little more work. It's a pity that the script itself falters at times, as I can't help but wonder how the play may have been different with some structural edits.
Good Evening My Fellow Citizens
Was this the sort of show that I could see having a life at Fringe? Absolutely! Watching the final night of the short run did not feel like the end, but rather the end of the first chapter in this musical's journey. For now, colour me impressed.
I Read Your Heart in its Pages
Louisa May Alcott's Little Women is a beloved classic, so many of us having read the story of the four sisters during our youth. Every actor perfectly embodies their character, breathing life into the beloved characters with ease. This is clearly a passion project and is a wonderfully realised show.
A Little Cloudburst
If there are any tickets remaining, I wholeheartedly recommend seeing this musical. It is a wonderful rendition of the story and an excellent show as a whole. For laughs, fun and a tale that will no doubt tug at the heartstrings, join EMS in Queens College this week.
The Aquarium
This is a story about chasing adventure, the thrill of the possible, and the inevitable fallout that comes with that. Overall this is an excellent piece of theatre, which highlights the talent present in the current generation of Oxford Drama both upon the stage and behind it.
